ETS, the organization responsible for educational testing and assessment, in collaboration with The National Indian Students and Alumni Union (NISAU), has unveiled the second iteration of the UK-India TOEFL Scholarship. This initiative aims to provide financial assistance to ten outstanding Indian scholars.
The objective of this program is to support students who are dedicated to enrolling in full-time undergraduate or postgraduate courses in the UK, assisting with various expenses including tuition fees, textbooks, transportation, and more. A panel comprised of esteemed members from NISAU and UK universities will be responsible for selecting the ten recipients.
The application period extends until July 15, 2024, offering a notable chance for aspiring students aiming to commence their studies at a UK university in either Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 to compete for a one-time scholarship worth INR 2.5 Lacs.
The selected awardees of the UK-India TOEFL Scholarship will serve as TOEFL ambassadors throughout their academic journey, advocating for the program and sharing their personal experiences. Prospective candidates can access comprehensive details and application guidelines on either the official ETS website or the NISAU website. The application period will commence on April 1, 2024, and conclude on July 15, 2024.

"The scholarship aligns with our mission of advancing equity and access to quality higher education globally. The TOEFL test remains the most widely accepted test of English-language proficiency and has enabled admissions of millions of deserving students to universities worldwide".
